I've seen you misspell a lot of stuff too dickface....guys like you always use spelling as a last resort when you've been destroyed.....you and I both know we posters type quickly and post....we seldom check what we have written

Physically, there is no question at all about genetics. Of course, the same could then be said about intelligence....as our strengths and weakness are inherited from our ancestors.

So generally speaking, it is possible that some groups might have a higher threshold perhaps due to heredity.....but individually there will always be smart people from all races.

My point was that the overriding factor for failed states in Africa is possibly more due to cultural characteristics of not only the leadership but also much of their population.

People don't need to be geniuses and inventors or even that smart to run a country.....they just need common-sense and be willing to listen to and follow advice from experts and professionals.This is why I say the problem is more cultural.

Nope, intelligence is all genetics. Some races just don't have it.

A 60-page review of the scientific evidence, some based on state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain size, has concluded that race differences in average IQ are largely genetic.
